She was really smart to stop doing the Yes motion after it was obvious they were chanting Steph.

Maybe they should have worked in a few more hope spots at least?

Why does Stephanie think she's part of the Four Horsemen? EDIT: Is it just me or is there an audible female pop for Brie?

Normally I agree, especially the way they handle cage matches. This one worked because the idea is that Ambrose wants his hands on Rollins. He should he was willing to fight anyone and everyone in his way to make that happen. We are going to just have to disagree on this. They had it. The lumberjacks tried to enforce it. It's like having cage and then having Big Show rip the side off the cage. The fact that Ambrose defied the nature of the gimmick to get his hands on Rollins means something. It's not that they were just ignoring the gimmick. They were acknowledging it and they went well out of their way to show how effective it was in the beginning of the match. The end result of this put over Ambrose, Rollins, AND the gimmick. Ambrose, because he was insane enough to dive not at Rollins but at the other lumberjacks, Rollins, because he used his brains and won despite that, and the gimmick because now people will be way more excited the next time they announce a lumberjack match than they ever would have been before.

1. They earned the stip breaking. The stip was working and then Ambrose went nuts and I think that got Ambrose over and used the stip as a way to do so. What's the harm in that? 2. I think we'll see more and more delayed satisfaction and 3 month feuds due to the network.

They should have had someone else in Jericho's jacket and had him in the ring for an ambush.

I love the pop that Goldust, locker room leader got.

That Rusev match was a blast. The fans were completely irate when he got out of the long ankle lock because they knew that was it.

There's no one in the world I'd rather have announce a boring crappy match. I'm less high on him announcing a great match though.

Terrible fantasy booking ahead: In the age of the network, I don't think there's any harm putting the belt on Brock, even if he's part time. That said, if they wanted to have Cena win but Brock destroy him post match so that Rollins could cash in, with Ambrose trying to stop it but meeting Brock on the ramp back and the two of them going at it, they could set up a few month chickenshit Rollins reign, Ambrose beating him only to then lose to Brock at the Rumble to set up Reigns or whatever. Rollins and Ambrose could then have a blowoff match at Mania.

I look forward to your heel character in the new year, especially when Will and Johnny Sorrow attack you with a beer truck.

They should just do a casket match then.Weirdly, I think that might draw.

I'm siding with Cesaro.

Vince didn't screw Canada. Canada screwed Canada. It'd be sort of funny if there was a backlash to this from the crowd next time they're in Canada for a Raw.

Lance Russell and Ventura didn't really intersect in WCW, right?

The funniest thing about Jericho was how he kept repeating what was going on, like he often does when he's talking to a guest and summing something up.

Now if they decide to put Marco over Terrible (I kid).

Bret didn't sue because he didn't want to hurt the rest of the boys. It's like you don't know him at all.

And Bret was fairly amiable about that. He agreed to it. He said "okay, if this is what you need to do to save your business. This is where I thought I'd spend the rest of my career. I don't want to leave, but..." Do we buy that? I kind of do.

Should have just put the belt on Shamrock.

True or false(I'm not 100%): Bret was drawing in 97 and Flair was not in 91?

The combo KO Punch/World's Strongest Slam is so great.

On the other hand, just imagine the tag team potential.

The bandanas felt like more of an issue to me.

Thanks guys, I'm hoping to have some fun with it and maybe tackle things from some different angles.
